Breast Cancer awareness month, how aware are you?

This month thousands of people around the world are doing sponsored events to raise money for breast cancer awareness from Walking to skydiving. What do you know about breast cancer? Here are a few facts for you:

In the UK the number of people diagnosed with breast cancer is on the rise but the number of deaths from breast cancer is decreasing.

Did you know that men can suffer from breast cancer too?  Although not nearly as many men are diagnosed with the disease, about 55,000 people a year are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK, of which 400 are men.  

Less than 10% of breast cancer cases are hereditary 

80% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed in people over 50 years old.

1 in 8 women will be victim to breast cancer at some point in their life time.

What are your risks? (Approximate risk for women):

1 in 2,000 under 29,
1 in 215 up to age 39,
1 in 50 up to age 49,
1 in 22 up to age 59,
1 in 13 up to age 69.
